Armstrong was really good today

Well - pretty sad really seeming Lance come in almost 12 minutes down.
But all the crashes he was in today probably didn't help much.
So - would hope he still finishes the Tour and maybe rides to support Levi now instead.
And being so far down in the standings will mean he will be free to get in a break and maybe try and win a stage. If he's got it in him.0 -
A time trial even/
Is that not a stage ?0 -

Sad.
I see we have a "who's got the biggest one," competition, but nobody is playing. :oops:
Yes, Lance was looking good, yesterday, and awful, today.
I think they call that bike racing.
It took him 15 years to have his bad day.

Still no one.

Has anyone on here intimidated riders or bullied them out of their career because they spoke out against doping?
Has anyone on here threatened to 'destroy' anyone because they spoke out against doping? *
* L'EQUIPE
October 6, 2005
After the publication of his testimony about Jemison and Hamilton in an article in the Sunday Times of London in 2001 when he expressed his certainty that US Postal had begun doping, Dr. Steffen received a phone call from Armstrong in which he threatened him in the following terms (the same that he used against Greg LeMond and Mike Anderson, his former personal assistant): "I have a lot of money, good lawyers, and if you continue to talk, I'll destroy you."0 -
Headlines " Lance Armstrong last seen near Rothbury. Lock all your doors/windows.
This man is Dangerous. Stay inside til further notice..."0 -
Apologies if this has been said already but for me the interesting question is whether he is glad he came back or not.
If he expected to return to his throne he has failed, if he just wanted to be competitive and revel in the process I would say he has succeeded on the whole although clearly not in this race.
I can't begin to contemplate how much damage has been done to his future earnings though. The whole Landis thing takes on a whole different scale with him still riding.
Personally, I wish he and his baggage had stayed away but I wonder how he feels right now.0 -
Apparently, he stated he would like to win/be competative, but also promote the Cancer thing. So, for what he's achieved so far - time trail - not bad.
3 crashes and he was shagged out on the last but one climb.
Hey, that's racing...
Unless he can recover well, then don't know whether he'll be in Paris.
Probably not. Possibly 1 race too many.

But... there are worse "Celebrities" around at the moment.

When even France 2's number one fanboy Thierry Adam can't stop himself snickering at the the third 'crash' then the game is clearly up. The ultimate insult to injury may have been the fact that France 2 cut away to 10+ minutes of ads and puff pieces before Armstrong crossed the line.
I just wonder if this is perhaps the rider we would have seen 99-05 without the intervention of Dr Ferrari? Now maybe he'll finally go home, go home to the kids and the gf, enjoy life, actually do something for raising cancer awareness (he could try talking openly to the media for a start and not through soundbites on a laptop). Just seems like a hard - and unnecessary way - to learn your lesson.
Though the sweetest words in the French language are 'Armstrong lache' (Armstrong dropped) there's no point in gloating because he was found out on the road - that happens. But I will be delighted when he is brought to book in the federal investigation.0
